  • I need some help, here's the story: I installed a fiberglass in-ground pool four years ago at our home in a subdivision with underground utilities. A few years ago I noticed a stinging sensation when I reached in to remove the skimmer basket from the pool. I thought it was just a chemical in-balance issue causing my torn cuticles around my fingers to sting and never payed much attention to it. This past weekend a bunch of people sitting along the edge of the pool were complaining about getting “shocked”, so I tripped the breakers for the pump and pool shed outlets and pool lights, but the problem didn’t go away. I noticed if you touched the pool water and were touching the dry cement pavers around the pool you wouldn’t get shocked, but once you added water, zap. So, being a maintenance mechanic and knowing a very little about electricity 101, I pulled out my meter and started checking for stray voltage. I check everything from the panel in the house to the pool and found nothing, from the pool water to both the ladder and entry handrail, nothing. From pool water to the dry pavers around the pool, nothing, from the pool water to the wet pavers, bingo between 2.9 and 3.4 volts. What should I do next, any suggestions would be appreciated.
